Ngapali

One of the most exclusive beach resorts in Myanmar, Amata Ngapali Beach Resort stretches along the gorgeous shoreline of the southern end of Ngapali Beach. This resort is located in a secluded area of the much-admired beach, making it a prime spot for true relaxation, peace and tranquility. The cabana-style guest rooms nestle amongst lush gardens, shielded by tropical trees and fauna for privacy. Rooms are well-equipped, balancing contemporary comfort with traditional Asian chic. From the large swimming pool, luxury sun loungers and beach bar guests can soak in the sun or rest in the shade against stunning vistas of the Bay of Bengal. The exclusive spa offers a wide range of treatments, therapies and massage techniques, in both traditional and specialized international styles. The airy restaurant whips up traditional Myanmar, Asian and international cuisine daily to satisfy its discerning guests. In the evenings, enjoy a fresh seafood barbeque while you gaze over the gentle ocean to the night sky. The resort is within walking distance of an array of restaurants and the delightful Mya Pyin village.

Amazing Resort is located on a prime stretch of Ngapali Beach. All villas in each of the three room categories (24 Deluxe Seaview villas, 10 Suite villas and three Amazing Suite villas) come with air conditioning, private baths with hot and cold showers, international direct dial (IDD) phones, satellite TV, a private verandah, and other standard in-room amenities. Recreational facilities include a swimming pool, the Spa Thukha, a 9-hole golf course located five minutes by car from the resort, bicycles for rent, and more. Dining options include all-day dining at Zee Phyu Gone, where the focus of their Burmese and international cuisine alike is on fresh local ingredients, including seafood from local fishermen. Bar El Mar, meanwhile, offers panoramic views out over the Bay of Bengal. The Amazing Resort is just a five-minute drive from Thandwe (Sandoway) Airport, which itself is about a 55-minute flight from Yangon (RGN).

This sumptuous resort is shaded by coconut palms on the relatively un-spoilt sands of Ngapali beach. The 50 spacious villas and cottages set on six acres of land look across over tropical gardens to the glistening Bay of Bengal. This resort, designed in traditional South East Asian style, offers an idyllic escape from other, more bustling parts of the country. The stunning rooms do not have televisions or telephones to ensure complete relaxation. Built using local materials, various kinds of hard wood, stone carving and marble, guests will feel as though they are residing in a Burmese coastal palace. The resort even has its own cinema with comfortable seating, as well as a piano lounge bar and tranquil library. The onsite restaurant serves up delicious Italian, traditional Burmese and international cuisine and fresh seafood in an open-air veranda. Local activities include sailing, golf, fishing trips, boat excursions, snorkeling, cycling and sightseeing in the local town.
